Is Doug Ford 'excessively preoccupied' with municipalities?

Guest: Noor Javed, staff reporter Ontario's 444 municipalities are often referred to as "creatures of the province," which has certainly proved to be true since Premier Doug Ford took over at Queen's Park. The provincial Conservatives have repeatedly exerted authority over all aspects of local government — slashing Toronto city council, suddenly bestowing strong-mayor powers, cutting development charges and ushering in the breakup of Peel Region. This has rendered municipalities and their elected officials seemingly powerless as the former city councillor turned premier is, as one expert said, "excessively preoccupied with municipal governance" and leaving people to feel "like they have lost control over local decisions." Audio Sources: Global News, CityNews This episode was produced by Brian Bradley and Kevin Sexton.

A white-nationalist murderer, made in Canada

Guest: Wendy Gillis, crime and policing reporter Over the past nine weeks, a Canadian courtroom heard disturbing testimonies of how and why 22-year-old Nathaniel Veltman murdered three generations of a Muslim family in 2021. Now guilty for the deaths of Salman Afzaal, his wife Madiha, 15-year-old daughter Yumna and 74-year-old mother Talat, and for the attempted murder of Salman's nine-year-old son, the upcoming sentencing will be a significant litmus test for Canada's anti-terror laws. What is also critical is the need to unravel how a small-town factory worker just out of his teens became a deadly mass murderer. Veltman's descent down the rabbit-hole of far-right extremism has exposed a deadly threat in Canada, as hate is once again on the rise. We retrace the digital footsteps of Veltman's radicalization. This episode was produced by Paulo Marques and Saba Eitizaz.

Why municipal governments might be best positioned to rapidly deploy climate solutions

Guest: David Miller, former mayor of Toronto Former Toronto Mayor David Miller was always an advocate for the environment. But in the nearly 14 years since he left office he's become one of the world's great networkers for climate solutions, bringing together mayors from 96 cities to share policy ideas, programs and practices. In this episode of "This Matters," Miller discusses why municipal governments are best positioned to rapidly deploy climate solutions and the ways he's seen mayors make outsized impacts far beyond the boundaries of their cities by "hacking" their position to reduce emissions.
